Aphrodite and Hermes hooked up. Aphrodite got pregnant from the affair. Both Aphrodite and Hermes each said, "I wish the baby looked like me."

And because they're both gods and both powerful, but neither can negate the will of the other, they both got their wish. Hermaphroditos looked like both Hermes and Aphrodite at the same time.

And that's where hermaphrodites come from.
